Just wondering if anybody had heard if any of the previous regimes activities will be continued. Such as the hive, after the spring game the singing of Carmen Ohio. Will stay.

Carmen is definitely staying (100% positive). Not sure about The Hive, could change. What other ones are you thinking about?

If the Spring Game is any indication, "The Hive" is dead. Hopefully, the "Circle Drill" will become a mainstay, but I don't know if Meyer will want to risk his guys before games (man, it would get people pumped, though). Sounds like Carmen will stay, I'd be shocked if it didn't. Meyer did say that there's so much tradition here, there's really no need to try to manufacture it.

This was the subject of a previous forum post, as well. Pretty much the same thing is stated there.

I hope they start playing Hells Bells as the pregame music, instead of before warmups. Like what VT does with Enter Sandman.

Didn't see this has been discussed kinda new to sight.

No problem, forum topics get regurgitated and re-discussed ad-infinitum. Just wanted to provide it for supplimentary material.

Part of me is hoping Urban makes up some badass intimidating pregame ritual right next to the other teams warmups. Possibly including Simon ripping off limbs...

Against tsun they could roll out donuts so Hoke loses control and won't coach. Hmmmmmm donuts.

Yeah I'd like to see the team (and by team I mean John Simon) sacrifice a wild animal, boar, lion, tiger, whatever...a new animal for each home game.

In all seriousness though, you can look at what Meyer did at Florida, a lot of those "traditions" he started there are traditions at Ohio State, i.e. the "gator walk"

The tradition I'm interested to see if it continues is skull session. I mean, I know skull session will continue but I am curious if the team will have the same involvement. They will definitely walk to the shoe (whether it be from St. Johns or the Blackwell) and over to the locker room.

"The Hive" is dead. It was gone with Lichter.

Did you see the emotion from Meyer as he sang Carmen Ohio? Definitely will stay

I do love the pre-game hype and I loved "The Hive" because the players loved the hive and it certainly stoked the competitive fires. Something tells me, we aren't going to have ANY issues with a competitive streak under Coach Meyer

Can someone briefly explain "the Hive?"

Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!

The team walk through Skull Session will continue.

After every home game win a wooden statue of the other teams mascot will be wheeled out to midfield in which the team captains will set the statue on fire as a tribute to the football gods.

I like to believe that my best hits border on felonious assault.
